Keep in mind this is the updated model with the electronic frunk/trunk buttons by the drivers seat.
I’ve searched this all over online and haven’t found any definitive answer to my problem. Anyone else have this issue? Does it need a new frunk motor? What else?

I had same issue on my 2001 Boxster with electronic frunk opening system.
Repair was to replace the frunk opening actuator - new unit from Porsche at the price of about 70€. I don't recommend to buy a used part for this.
The electronic motor on the actuator heats up due to old age (dirt, tired electronics, etc) and does not work when warm.
This is easy change, but requires frunk to be open for the job. The swap from old to new actuator took me about 20 minutes.
